A "healthier" version of broccoli cheddar soup that's both easy and quick to make - takes under 30 minutes! Note: this recipe can be made vegan. The recipe calls for chicken broth, milk, greek yogurt, and parmesan. Chicken broth can be subbed out for vegetable broth and the parmesan can be replaced with nutritional yeast (same quantities for each). The milk and greek yogurt are used as a substitute for butter and heavy cream to make the recipe healthier. A good vegan alternative for the above are soaked cashews (~1 cup) - head's up, this will add more fat content to the soup
